My room had a large balcony overlooking the street. The town is nice and cool in August and September. The hotel is very clean but too much wood for my taste. I loved the town. It is for mountaineers and skiers.

Dear Sir,

thank you very much for your reply on tripadvisor.

We were very happy to welcome you to our Hotel.

Sorry, that you think that there is too much wood. As our hotel is one of the oldest hotels in town and built in a typical chalet style there is definitely a lot of wood.The owner family is investing every year a lot of money to keep the wood up to date.Nevertheless I will inform the owners of your mention.

Thank you once again.We hope to see you one day back here in Zermatt.Sunny regards in the meantime,

Caroline Ogi & Sylvain Stefanazzi OgiDirectors

This was our family's first trip to Zermatt. We were picked up at the train station by the hotel and was so happy to find that the hotel was right in the middle of this quaint town with many shops and restaurants. The location was perfect for us! The hotel was a 5 minute walk to the Gornergrat Bahn. The hotel has a deep history and was well maintained. The front desk team was very pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful with making dinner reservations and helping us find our way to the ski lifts. The breakfast buffet included is basic but very good with cereals, pastries, cheeses, fruit, yogurts and usually eggs with bacon or sausage. We ate dinner at the hotel one night and the food and service was also very good. We look forward to returning to Zermatt one day and would definitely stay at the Walliserhof hotel again!

Room Tip: We stayed in a room that had a king bed for my husband and I and a loft with a twin bed for our daug...

The location is great for getting to and from the train station because it is only a few hundred metres away. Zermatt itself is small enough that it really doesn't matter where you stay. The room was quite large and very homely, very warm. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Breakfast was a large buffet that had a great coffee/hot chocolate machine.

The hotel is very close to the station right on the main street of Zermatt. The place welcomes you with an overwhelming aroma of cheese because there are two restaurants on the ground floor and cheese fondues happen to be a favorite dish, this part of globe. The quality of food served is very good and that opinion was further reinforced after having dinner at a gourmet restaurant close by. There is also a McD, 5 minutes away from the hotel. There isn’t much of a view from the hotel but the windows are strategically located to get a clear glimpse of Matterhorn, if and when it appears. We were lucky to see it twice during our two nights stay. We visited Gornergrat and I must admit that it was the high point of our Switzerland visit. Zermatt town itself looks a little shabby by Switzerland standards. The staff of the hotel was very friendly and always wanting to help.

Rooms are clean and tidy! We also got a room with a shared balcony. It was nice to hear and see the birds in the morning.

The breakfast buffet had limited food though. Plus, the service of the waitress was unsatisfactory. She was rude to one of my group members when he came down at 8:30am for breakfast and found out that bacon and eggs were almost finished. Behind him were 5 more Westerners waiting for food. He complained to the staff and the waitress that the food supply wouldn't feed the 6 of them and she simply responded, 'Well, there are still some eggs in there.'

The point wasn't that there's food or not. It's just not enough. She should've offered to refill the table instead of saying rudely that 'there's still some' food there (although not enough for the 6 of them).

Other than that, the hotel is in a good location, walking distance from all shops and restaurants as well as the train stations.

If you don't like cheese or feel bad wiht it smell, be prepared to smell it.. as there is a restaurant you have to pass for the elevator and the smell is quite intensive.The hotel is quite nice.. the room we had was very confortable. The breakfast wasn't nothing special for the price we paid.. The restaurant is also very nice.If you are going to skiing the hotel is not near the gondola.. still it is only about 10 minutes walking in the vilage.

Dear Ligia06,

thank you very much for your reply.

I feel sorry, that you were not so happy with our breakfast. What did you miss ? What should have been on our breakfast?We try to improve our buffet breakfast regularly. My husband, who is our head chef, is trying to present a typical swiss breakfast full of freshness. We will analyze all that and do thank you for your reply.

Hope to have you back one day.

Best regards from Zermatt,

....nor sure why I liked it so much but I did. Restaurant great, breakfast was a dairy food lovers paradise. Fondue was lovely and service was great. Rooms good, nothing outstanding but nothing too complain about either. Just a very good hotel.
